I’ll be honest; episode 6 was a little bit of a let down. It was very procedural and just when I thought they would reveal Olivia’s backstory, they closed the doors and kept me out. Clearly, her turbulent past with her stepfather is going to be explored later on, but I was hoping to learn more of Olivia’s past when it was brought up. Anna Torv gave another fantastic performance though, struggling to control her emotions.

• Girl doesn’t remember how she got those marks on her wrist. That’s not good. 
• Uh oh…someone call the Fringe division, we have a case of “bleeding from eyes.” Reminds me of the bodies in Hitchcock’s The Birds. Did her head just explode? 
• Yes, Walter, Olivia is tense. It’s probably ‘cuz she just found out her ex-“Boring Face” lover bought her an engagement ring before he died. 
• C’mon, Dr. Patel. You are clearly not telling the complete truth. 
• Aw, Olivia. You are tense girl. Why don’t you let Peter give you a back rub? 
• Action, MA. That’s an interesting name for the city. Is it right next to Halt, MA?
• Agent Francis to Olivia: “This coming your way of all days.” Is it her anniversary with John Scott? Nope, it’s her birthday.
• You go girl! You are evil doing those experiments but you are a female scientist nonetheless.
• Who is that guy? I know him from somewhere. It’s Chris Eigeman from Gilmore Girls!
• HAHA Walter just said Papaya is the friendliest of fruits. I don’t know if I agree with that completely. Strawberries are pretty friendly, in my opinion.
• Emily was a human microwave.
• Actually, Peter can you bring two cotton candies- one for Walter and one for me. Thanks buddy, and in return, I will keep transmitting Polivia thoughts your way. 
• “What if somebody is preparing for something.” Right on the nose, Peter. All of these cases have to be connected to a bigger plan.
• Listen to him, Olivia. Don’t interrupt the wake. That is not polite. Oh yeah, sure go upstairs. Really? Liv, I think you are phenomenal but you are out of line right now.
• Oh snap! The mom knows Claire.
• Claire’s husband lied!!! I knew it. Get him, Liv!
• Mmhm. My spidey senses were right. Dr. Nadim Patel was lying.
• OH SNAP!!!! Olivia is so quick to draw. Love it!
• Ah! He just killed himself. Olivia’s “No” was gut wrenching. 
• “I want to see it in his eyes, Charlie. I need to know it’s him. ” Whoa, Olivia, you need to de-stress a bit.
• Olivia is talking to David Esterbrook. Esterbrook: “What did you hope to get out of this conversation?” Olivia: “I already got it.” Like a Boss!
• Hells yeah she wants to start a family…with Peter. She just doesn’t know it yet. 
• Dramatic close up on Broyels as he says, “If I can’t trust you to control your own passion, Dunham, then I can’t trust you.” On a separate note, Broyles has phenomenal posture. I need to learn.
• Ouch Olivia! Don’t be mean to Peter. She had a stepfather who beat her mother. Backstory time!!!!! Oh man! She shot him. CRAZY!!!!!! “Every year he sends me a card on my birthday.” Creepy.
• Ms. Terminator just came in riding a horse.  She and Peter spent time together long ago? Huh? 
• Ms. Terminator was close with Walter? Like lovers? Lab partners? Bridge players? Members of the same book club? What kind of “close” are we talking about here, Ms. Terminator?
• Ms. Terminator: “Are you willing to make a bargain?” Damn, she plays hardball- doesn’t want to give info for free.
• HAHA Way to go Peter – mumble some science jargon so Olivia doesn’t know how you obtained your intel.  Shhhh, Walt! “We’ve got a visible heat signature from the radioactive isotope.” That’s right Olivia, repeat that science jargon.
• Agent Francis’ voice is so low.
• Olivia in a gun battle. Oh no! Lady scientist pressed the button of death.
• She is gonna die, isn’t she? Go to the door! Get the syringe! Ah, this is intense. 
• You go girl! Get him Olivia! Handcuff the mad scientist.
• Why so stern Broyles? Olivia: “I am emotional.” Preach it, Liv.
• Aw, she is worried about Peter. Olivia figured out that Peter had to give something to Ms. Terminator in return for the intel. Their faces are so close. Just kiss already. 
• “INtREPUS,” you are such a stupid company. All capital letters except the “t”? Who was the genius that thought of that? 
• No letter today. Phew. 
• Peter and Olivia are too adorable for words. 
• Oh Snap!! A personally delivered card. WTF?! “Thinking of you.”
